Heritance Ayurveda Maha Gedara in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

Located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka in Beruwela, renowned for its stunning sandy beaches, the Heritance Ayurveda Maha Gedara by Aitken Spence Group sits right on the beachfront. Originally designed by the esteemed architect Geoffrey Bawa, the tranquility and harmony of its clear colours and shapes are still palpable today - truly a worthwhile experience! The "Heritance" concept is particularly aimed at guests who wish to experience and engage with Sri Lanka's cultural heritage through Ayurveda, seeking insights and support for their daily lives. This expansive 4-star resort welcomes you with an eco-friendly, bright setting where Ayurveda is the central theme in a comfortable and relaxed environment. It exclusively accommodates Ayurveda guests and their travel companions. Leading by example in sustainable tourism, the resort operates with an innovative solar photovoltaic system, a solar water heating system, and a biogas plant that primarily uses kitchen waste. The transfer time from the airport is approximately 2-3 hours.

Dining & Leisure

The spacious, open Ayurveda restaurant, overlooking the pool and garden, serves healthy meals either buffet-style or à la carte, in harmony with Ayurvedic principles. Enjoy traditionally authentic dishes where taste, effect, and presentation are paramount, all prepared under the supervision of Ayurvedic doctors. The menu is predominantly vegetarian, with occasional options of chicken or white fish. Guests learn to select food that suits their body type. Meals are served on cleansing days.

Wellness

Relax in the beautiful outdoor pool set within the expansive garden, complete with water features, tranquil areas, and cosy seating nooks.

Ayurveda Center

The expansive Ayurveda Center, based on the unique Ayubowan concept ("Live Longer"), serves as a tranquil oasis. With 24 therapy rooms featuring water fountains and a pond, it creates a unique, soothing atmosphere for relaxation. The facility includes herbal steam baths, herbal baths, and an Ayurveda pharmacy. A small herbal cultivation is maintained to acquaint guests with the natural ingredients used in the treatments. A comprehensive team of qualified and experienced Ayurveda doctors and therapists perform authentic Ayurveda treatments using pure oils and herbs. The ayurvedic medicine used is not a necessary part of the therapy. Acupuncture treatments are also available.

Yoga

In our dedicated Meditation and Yoga Center, find peace and reflection in a serene atmosphere. Yoga sessions are held approximately 1-2 times daily, and meditation about twice a week, weather permitting, by the pool.

Free Time

Explore numerous manuscripts in the Ayurveda library. Shop for souvenirs and crafts, fitness room, TV lounge, laundry service, currency exchange, and internet PC. Enjoy weekly 'Mocktail Parties' with Ayurveda doctors and hotel management. Lectures on Ayurveda, cooking demonstrations for preparing Ayurvedic dishes, cultural evenings, music events, and trips to religious ceremonies are offered periodically.
